Make sure there's some overlap at the top as it will help you when you turn out pudding;<BR/><BR/>Wash and slice your leeks and saute very lightly in butter. You'll need more than you think you will as they will cook down loads.<BR/><BR/>You can add a few chopped rashers of streaky bacon if you like but as I normally serve this with stewing steak I usually don't bother with the bacon.<BR/><BR/>When leeks are slightly transparent then take off heat and make the suet pastry.<BR/><BR/>The best suet is beef suet you get from the butchers but it can be a pain in the ass to grate so you're allowed to use the sort you can buy ready grated from the supermarket. That has the added bonus of having the recipe on the packet but from what I can remember you use equal quantities of suet and self raising flour and mix the two to light dough. Divide pastry into two parts one about two thirds bigger than other.<BR/><BR/>Roll out largest amount to about half to three quarters of an inch thick and line pudding bowl.<BR/><BR/>Add leeks and bacon to dish. Press down with a spoon to pack it all in .<BR/><BR/>Roll out second lot of pastry to cover top of leeks.<BR/><BR/>Wrap dish in clean cloth and either cook in bain marie in oven or place in large pan of boiling water on stove. <BR/><BR/>Steam for a couple of hours or until the suet has risen. It's almost impossible to ruin this dish by overcooking just keep the heat to moderate and remember to top up water in pan.<BR/><BR/>Alternatively leeks wrapped in bacon, covered in cheese sauce and baked in oven is really good too.<BR/><BR/>Or, you can use leeks in a tuna and tomato quiche. Simmer leeks in toms until juice has evaporated. Place in pastry case. Add tuna (fresh or tinned). cover with egg:cream and bake for about thirty mins or until eggs are cooked.<BR/>Thanks for the Pate Brisee recipe btw. F's sister made two tarts for our vist on Sunday, one camembert and tomato and one using apples and sour cream. Both were wonderful and both used pate brisee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-87525347693638795892007-09-05T08:18:00.000-07:002007-09-05T08:18:00.000-07:00eek!
